FLEET TOWN v EVESHAM UNITED MATCH SPONSORED BY THE FLEET TOWN MASSIV Saturday December 8th 2018 – 3.00 P.M Evo-Stik League South Division 1 South Today’s Fleet Town ‘Man of the Match’ is Sponsored by Easi–Leaflets http://easi-leaflets.com SPONSORED BY A WELCOME FROM OUR MANAGER DAVE KELLY Good afternoon and welcome to Calthorpe Park the home of Fleet Town F.C. for today’s Evo-Stik League South Division 1 South fixture. In particular the Committee, Players, Management and supporters of our visitors Evesham United. It has been a busy couple of weeks for us with players leaving and new players being added to a young squad, we are delighted to sign Sam Williams and Kofi Halliday recently who have both been excellent additions. We continue to build with the squad we have and just look to add those little pieces of quality going forward. Results have not been great in the last week playing 3 games in 6 days. Despite the results there have seen some good performances. Against Winchester City it was a tight game that could have gone either way. Cirencester was ‘a bad day at the office’ but credit to them they were far more experienced than us and gave a young team a lesson in managing the game. Southampton in the Hampshire Senior Cup on Monday was a great experience, we played some terrific football against a full time outfit and did not look out of place. The game is all about small margins, where a little mistake can be punished. Credit to the players on the night as they showed great discipline to stay in the game and cause The Saints a lot of problems especially in the second half. The highest compliment to us being that they took the ball in to the corner to see the game out, Premier League against Step 4 of the Non-League pyramid ! Who says you can't play good football in the Non League. It has filled the coaching team with great confidence watching the performance on Monday that with how we set ourselves up and what can be achieved with good coaching and that results will continue to come for this young team. Please continue your support, keep believing and it will not be long before we rise up the league. ‘Come on you Blues ‘ Dave ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CHAIRMAN: Alec Grant YOUTH TEAM MANAGER: Neil Selby VICE CHAIRMAN : Richard Whittington COMMITTEE MEMBERS: WEBSITE MANAGERS : Harry Cannon & Matt Thorne Alec Grant, Richard Whittington, CLUB WELFARE OFFICER : Chris Arnold Harry Cannon, Darren Edwards Nathan Cookson & Sam Waters CLUB SAFETY OFFICER : Lyn Bevan CLUB SECRETARY : Richard Whittington PROGRAMME EDITOR : Martin Griffiths HEAD OF FOOTBALL : Sam Waters CLUB SHOP MANAGER : Claire Whittington FIRST TEAM MANAGER : David Kelly HOSPITALITY : Carol Black ASSISTANT MANAGER : Tommy Taylor TEA BAR : Maria Horsenail FIRST TEAM COACH : Chris Neate GROUNDSMAN ; Bryan Smith SPORTS THERAPIST : Edward Hensby 01252 623804 www.fleettownfc.co.uk Fleet Town F.C.

However, a club did exist in Evesham prior to the War, the “Town” reaching the F.A. Amateur Cup Final in 1923, losing 1 – 2 after extra time to London Caledonians at Crystal Palace. Starting in the 1951/52 season, in the club’s first five years in the Worcestershire Combination they were League Champions twice and runners-up on two occasions, their lowest position being third in that first season. In 1956 they left to join the Birmingham League and followed this with a move to the Warwickshire League in 1959 before returning to the Worcester (now Midland Combination) in 1963. They won the league title four times (1965/66, 1967/68, 1968/69, and 1991/92) and reached the Challenge Cup Final on six occasions, lifting the trophy in 1988 and 1992. Initially the club played at Crown Meadow, moving to Common Road in 1968 and opening the clubhouse in 1975. A terrific season in 1991/92 saw the club complete a memorable double of Midland Combination Premier Division Champions, thus achieving promotion to the Southern League Midlands Division, and the Combination Challenge Cup. They also reached the quarter final of the F.A.
